Wool Continues nuiet-Current Quotations

from "Bradstrects."
New YORK, July II Bmistrcots prints
the following: Wool continues quiet east
and west, with generally easy feeling in
the various markets This is due in part
To the stringency of money. Manutactur-
ers in New England and the middle States
are not stocking up TO any extent, while
the weaker holders are anxious Ia sell in
order TO raise funds wherewith to meet
maturing obligations. Sales of large
amounts, whether in the interior or on the
seaboard, could only be made at conces-
sions. Dealers IN Boston, New York and
Philadelphia are receiving many requests
for bids from western holders, and advances
Oh consignments appear to he Of smaller
amount than usual. If the manufacturers
adhere to their present policy for two or
three weeks longer more general realizing
will be inevitable.
The market is also dull by reason of the
cOtinued uncertainty as TO the course Of
lightweight WOODEN fabrics. These have
not yet been opened 10 any extent, but SO
far rs they have been offered, principally
cheviOts, values are reported as 5 TO I'D per
cent. less than last year. Foreign cOmpe-
tition promises to he keen. Purchases for
consumption appear likely TO continue re-
stricted until something definite has been
brought out about the styles which are 10

The London sales closed Thursday. TIE
market has been generally well sustained
under active competition from English and
continental buyers, together with pur.
chases of some extent for this country,
chiefly by mill agents. The firmness which
has prevailed on the other is in decided
contrast with the weakness here.
The Boston market is dull, buyers oper-
ating cautiously and to a limited amount
in the aggregate. But little is doing in
tieeces, demand being confined, in great
measure, to medium sorts There has been
IL fair request for supers The tone of
the trade is barely steady. Nogreat weak
ness has appeared, and, on the other hand,
no tendency toward All advance. The new
clip is arriving in abundant quantities, but
is, TO some extent, held out of the market.

tons are as follows in comparison with last

HARB0R SEALS, ST. PAuL'S ISLAND.
away the connecting ridges. The Aleuts
are Greek Christians-simple, civil and
honest. Fish is their staff Of life; and
here begins that wealth Of ocean products
about which the late difficulty arose.
While almost every island is noted for
some product, the great center of the fur
seal industry is on the Pribylov islands,
where English, French, Dutch and Rus
sian vessels carried on an active industry
for eighty years, until the catch dwindled
from tens Of thousands to as many hun
dreds. Then a better regulated system
was enforced, and now the islands are
in fair way to be more valuable than
ever. The Alaska Commercial company,
to which congress has granted the islands
for twenty years, now limits the catch to
100, 900 seals year; all these their hardy
Aleut employees take in two months, when
the fur is ut its best-Junc 10 to Aug. 10,
usually-and what is equally agreeable to
learn, the company deals justly with the ma
tives and has established among them u
very high degree of comfort. AS forty cents
is paid for taking each skin, it will be seen
that the distribution Of SAC, 900 each sum-
mer in that small population makes good
times" Only the fur seal is taken for its
skim the hair seal, sea lion and other
amphibians of the genus, only for food
in these islands, though on the Atlantic
coast they are taken for their oil. BY
their care in taking only at the best season,
the company has more then doubled the
value Of their skins in the worlds
markets. Outside of these seal
islands, all the islands and main
land of Alaska arc omen 70 the world
but nature protects the animals
elsewhere quite effectively. The fur
seal is the most intelligent of all amphib-
ious animals, and his instinct in the most
important relation of life, the domestic, is
almost equal TO the human intellect We
need not describe their Mormon habits,
since every book of travel in the north
abounds in humorous description. They
come in from their winter journey eX-
tremely fat, and depart after their short
summer on the breeding grounds in the
last degree of leanness; the weight of full
grown males, 300 to 600 pounds, and that
of the females is but little less. So judi
ciously has the company managed that
the seals on the summer grounds the past
year are known to have numbered at least
5000, 900, and it is estimated that half as
many more are upon the outlying islands
of the Pribylov group, where no census
has been taken. We can present but a
few of many facts proving the present and
prospective value of these islands, and the
improvement in the trade under good
management.

Some two weeks ago, a bottle blower
named Winch started home from the city
after dark, and when on Sherman street,
was accosted by two men who demanded
cigars. He gave one of them cigar, and,
not having any for the other, both attacked
him viciously, breaking his nose, smashed
and pounded his face and body until it be-
came limp and lifeless. He was then
thrown into the Sherman street sewer, and
left for dead; at least, that is the supposi.
ton. Finally, recovering consciousness,
he pulled himself out of the sewer and
dragged his bruised and bleeding body TO
his home beyond the bottle works. He has
been In the care OF physicians ever since,
but yesterday succumbed TO an attack of
lock jaw, superinduced by his injuries,
Every effort should be made TO apprehend
the murderers of this man. They were
strangers to him, and In all probability their
desperate deed escaped the attention of
others, but some clue might be obtained
even yet which would lead to their arrest.

THE HOME OF THE SEAL,
MAP SHOWING THE LOCATION OF
THE BEHRiNG SEA TROUBLE.

History Of tho Alaskan Purchase Of
ls67-some Description of the varie-
ties Of Seal That Are Taken on the
Islands Of the Behring Sea.
When Secretary Seward, in 1867, sought
TO signalize his administration by acquir-
ing some new territory, not one American
in ten thousand knew anything OF i'm
portance in regard to the purchase. Little
by little we have learned its value and
now it and the Behring sea, which washes
its shores, is the location Of a most inter-
esting trouble with Great Britain.
The annexed map will materially assist
our readers in the comprehension of what
ever may be said regarding this sealing
trouble. The line running southwest
from Behring strait along the Siberian
coast marks the treaty boundary Of 1867,
and the government Of the United States,
according to that treaty, has exclusive
jurisdiction and dominion" over the
waters OF Behring sea east Of that
boundary. The Russian government has
jurisdiction and dominion west OF the
same line. The Seal Islands, st. Paul
and st. George, the chief center of animal
life in Behring sea, lie to the north Of
Ounalaska. The fur seal pass northward
every spring through the channels on each
side of Ounalaska Island to their main
breeding place at st. Paul and ST.
Georges Islands. The six or more British
vessels caught poaching in Behring sea
have been seized between Ounalaska and
the Seal Islands and have been taken by
the revenue cutter Rush to Sitka
These vessels sailed from Victoria, Van
couver's Island, British North America
And now, as we have to struggle for
our new property, we become deeply in
terested in it, according to the nature Of
man; and it is in order to present the
main facts of its history, climate and re-
sources. 1t is an immense land, and a
gloomy land, and, us in every other section
of the far north, its exploration has been
the occasion of many sad calamity.
